Literature entails, what it includes, and of how we, as readers, students and academics, can
successfully tackle the global literary production effectively, allows us to access a wider, more
inclusive perspective on the production of texts and culture in the world, while taking into
consideration the dense network of international links we are inevitably a part of. Aside from the
focus on untranslatability, a term on which Apter perhaps hangs too much and around which her
ideas only loosely coalesce, Against World Literature might also be read as a taster of recent
philosophical trends as she looks to whet her rather unfashionable preoccupations - language and
textuality - with the sharpened materialist edge of current thought. She is finishing a book on

Structured as an encyclopedia, it consists of around 400 entries, each under its own headword: a
word or phrase of both philosophical significance and linguistic specificity. In fall 2014 she was a
Humanities Council Fellow at Princeton University and in 2003-2004 she was a Guggenheim

new world literature, including its broad overlap with fields of globalization, translation studies,
comparative literature, and postcolonialism. As a case study, the article scrutinizes the large-scale
English department curriculum changes at the American University of Beirut (AUB) as an

Problematic and Pragmatic Pedagogy of World Literature James Hodapp ARIEL: A Review of
International English Literature In addressing the reemergence of world literature as a discipline,
critics such as Emily Apter and Gayatri Spivak gesture to the problem of the scale of world literature
in trying to preserve the value of localized knowledge. Different version of this essay previously
published in The Global South Special Issue: Globalization and the Future of Comparative

other than English is insufficient. We stayed up past our bedtime to experience New Yorker
contributors Patricia Marx and Roz Chast. The central concept of Against World Literature is the
'Untranslatable': a word or other semantic unit that cannot easily be rendered from one language to
another, an 'intransigent nub of meaning that triggers endless translating in response to its resistant
singularity'. A recipient of fellowships from the Lannan, Santa Maddalena, and Jan Michalski
foundations, Katie has written for publications including the New York Times Book Review, the
New York Times, the Guardian, Granta, BOMB, Triple Canopy, and Frieze. There is hardly a
discipline, field, or discourse within the natural and social sciences nor the humanities that hasn’t
long been touched and transformed by the notions of milieu, environment, or Umwelt. Read by
Binswanger as a case of falling up (Verstiegenheit), or climbing above the limits of one’s self, Apter
will discuss what it means to be philosophically clumsy in relation to the uses of and misuses of the
forensics of bodily projection. Drawing upon earlier visions of Goethe, Marx, Auerbach, and Said,
along with recent critics such as Franco Moretti, Pascale Casanova, and David Damrosch, Tally
traces the trajectory of his postnationalist vision of a world literature that may simultaneously
preserve cultural specificity without fetishizing it and engender transcultural connections without
effacing difference, thus serving comparative literary studies in an age of globalization. Rousseau’s
accident will be compared to the calculated misstep of Count Mosca in Stendhal’s The Charterhouse
of Parma and the suicidal fall in Ibsen’s The Master-Builder. And she’s pulled into an explosive
political controversy when she’s asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes.

From approximately the second half of the 20 th century, the academic debate regarding the choice
of methodology for the study, teaching and analysis of World Literature, has become more heated
and controversial, and it still hasn't exhausted itself. The main article gives a careful treatment of its
meanings, its history and philosophical valence, and finally a bibliography. Pascale Casanova, The

naming Ephraim Chambers’ precursor to the encyclopedia, which, unlike its anthropocentric
descendant, adopted an organic model of knowledge. The most important challenge Apter’s theories
present for Australian literature is not how to negotiate the international market and assert its cultural
identity. Not an attack but an implosion: the global financial crisis. The audience is presumed to
consent to a possible recording on the part of the ICI Berlin. Republished as lead catalogue essay of
artist’s work. Instead, arresting and unashamedly political, Against World Literature asks us to
regard untranslatability - those thorny, frustrating moments of cultural dissonance and
misunderstanding - as the key to translation and cross-cultural engagement. Even when Apter talks
about literature, it is usually at one or two removes. This gave ammunition to those colleagues in
single-language literature departments, who tended to view the whole notion of Comparative
Literature as suspect, the domain of the dilettante and the dabbler. What does it mean to take
exception to this exceptionalism of the Political (a politics worthy of the name). Translation and

welcomed Ayana Mathis ( The Twelve Tribes of Hattie ) to our stage in celebration. In her
introduction, Cassin takes the difficulty of translating philosophy as the project’s point of departure,
and presents us with a choice. Apter’s post-Foucauldian ear is attuned to the politics of forming and
archiving knowledge, and here, untranslatability, alongside the cyclopedia, is presented as a tool for
its decolonisation. It also highlights the systemic obstacles that prevent this information from being
globalized. Ultimately, the problem, which abounds in comparatists, is that knowing one more
language other than English is insufficient. The idea of a national literature effectively drafts
literature to fulfill a patriotic duty, to confer cultural prestige on its country of origin. Aside from the
focus on untranslatability, a term on which Apter perhaps hangs too much and around which her
ideas only loosely coalesce, Against World Literature might also be read as a taster of recent
philosophical trends as she looks to whet her rather unfashionable preoccupations - language and
textuality - with the sharpened materialist edge of current thought. The Center for Fiction and the
Brooklyn Caribbean Literary Festival welcomed playwright and author Cristina Garcia.
In the place of “World Literature”—a dominant paradigm in the humanities, one grounded in
market-driven notions of readability and universal appeal—Apter proposes a plurality of “world
literatures” oriented around philosophical concepts and geopolitical pressure points. Her published
works include The Translation Zone: A New Comparative Literature and Continental Drift: From
National Characters to Subjects. Keen to practise what she preaches, Apter adopts a cyclopedic
mode, her writing richly grained, tangent-led and short on linear argument. Oscar Jansson and David
LaRocca, (Bloomsbury, May, 2022). Can we imagine a national curriculum that recognises the
plurality of nations and reverses their suppression. By working with many scholars of individual
national literatures, Moretti provides an example of literary collaboration that, while not exhaustive
in scope, goes some way towards justifying World Literature as a project that does not have to
sacrifice either breadth or depth. Towards a Methodology for Investigating the Style of a Literary
Translator. A recipient of fellowships from the Lannan, Santa Maddalena, and Jan Michalski
foundations, Katie has written for publications including the New York Times Book Review, the
New York Times, the Guardian, Granta, BOMB, Triple Canopy, and Frieze. Patrick Bray, (London:
Bloomsbury Press, 2017), pp.11-32. While the political sphere in Western democracies has been
narrowing to a technocratic set of choices in submission to the markets, supposedly radical and
subversive theories have sprung up everywhere in the humanities, full of grand political ambition, but
with no possibility of having a meaningful effect on the material circumstances of the various groups
whose interests they are intended to champion. Her work has been translated into nineteen languages
and is being adapted for film and television. Translation as a kind of leveraging of language, causes
the university, and the entire world, to pivot, eventually if incrementally, on its axis.’. In 2019 she
was the Daimler Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. Felix Guattari’s writings on
micropolitics and ecosophy answer this on the oblique by scoring sensate environments: intensities of
power and desire; the viscosity of social atmospherics, psychic pulsations, and drives. Peripheries
enable the reproduction of world-literature metropolises and influence their evolutionary shifts,
while the peripheral semiotic dynamics that infuses centers tends to be exoticized, anonymized, or
marginalized. RELATED TOPICS World Literatures Translation Studies Politics and Literature
